Angela Breen was born in Omagh, County Tyrene, Ireland. Angela's early influences were Susan McCann, Philomena Begley, and Dolly Parton. She mainly listened to Dolly as she liked the feelings she shared and the stories she told. Through the years, she has been playing in Pubs and Clubs, however, she took a break to be a single mom to 4 children. The "bug" to write and perform never left her.

Angela believes her biggest accomplishments were the recording of "If Only" and "Never Knew. Both of these songs were from Nashville songwriters and were produced in Nashville itself.

It is Angela's desire that everybody would enjoy and dance to her music. She is working on writing several new songs and has a new single coming out. All that and Then Some" Is written by Dan Washburn, TJ Thompson, And S. Gay. She is quite excited about the release of this single.

Tracy Millar comes from a world far away from those where an artist’s career is shaped by the myriad

of variables, the music business insists are necessary to drive a musician’s career. A rural Alberta

gal, Tracy has always been passionate about music and contributing to her community. And

passionate with a capital “P”, as this recording artist never gives less than 100% of her heart, and

God-given talents to any project or performance.

All this wouldn’t carry much weight if Tracy Millar’s efforts over the last decade had landed on deaf

ears and indifferent audiences. But the fact is Millar has been winning over the public and peers with

a pure voice coming out of the country tradition, and songs resonating with audiences possibly

hearing her for the 1st time or 10th time. An accomplished performer, Millar strives to stay humble,

loving to connect with her audience, from an intimate soft stage audience or from the main stage at

Big Valley Jamboree. As an accomplished performer Tracy has shared the stage with some of North

America’s biggest stars; Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Gord Bamford, Brett Kissel,

Tennille Townes, just to name a few.

Millar knows she’s “Not 29 No More”, however that's not slowing her down.

I've been performing and writing music since I was about 14 years old. My father was a musician. This fact, combined with the richness and diversity of the music in the neighborhood where I grew up (South Vallejo) sucked me in at an early age and I've been addicted ever since. I've played in several bands over the years but had to put chasing rock stardom on hold while being a single father raising my two daughters. They are grown now so the time was right for me to create my first solo album titled "Rock n' roll makes the pretty girls love ugly boys". I wrote, performed and mixed the album myself in my home studio. Everything you hear on the album is me with the exception of the drums. One cool tidbit is that the album was mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Coming out of the trend-setting 1980 Chicago PowerPop / New Wave scene that included Pezband, Cheap Trick & Shoes, Richie’s group Loose Lips released their EP “Hung Up On Pop” with Grammy award-winning producer Michael Freeman. Loose Lips created its own scene for the next two years with an enthusiastic fan base, memorable shows, frequent radio play, and a number of cable and TV performances that included an AM Chicago Rate-A-Record appearance hosted by Dick Clark.

A development deal with Epic Records led to a songwriting production and publishing deal for Mayer with BMG Music in Toronto, Canada. Many songs, recordings and productions now brings us to 2021 and the release of his first solo album, The Inn of Temporary Happiness.

  Hailing from the San Francisco area, Richie sings all the lead and backup vocals and plays all the instruments on sixteen tracks including acoustic, electric and bass guitars, keyboards, drum pads, percussion and Navajo flute. He also recorded and produced the album, mixing with engineers in Austin, Chicago, and Omaha.

  The result is a ringing guitar and melody driven PowerPop road trip through love, loss, surf, sex, and surrender.

Catherine Wacha is a singer-songwriter and music producer living in Pittsburgh, PA. Her debut album,

“The Status Quo” was released in 2017 and she has been working on self-releasing her music from her

personal studio with “We Are the Snowflakes & Winter is Coming” being released in March of 2021 and

then “About Girls” releasing in November of 2021.

Catherine’s music has branched out from folk-rock some into more pop and electronic while still keeping

an indie folk-rock feel to her lyrics and work ethic. This has lead to collaborations with other songwriters and has grabbed the attention of international music producers. Early in her career, she played at

The Continental in New York City, Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey, and more recently was chosen to

play the Millvale Music Festival in Pittsburgh, PA.

Catherine is currently working on her release, “Stagnate” which is slated to be released on September 4th

2021. The title track, “Stagnate” has a darker pop feel than her previous releases and though the rest of

the release has a bit of a pop feel to it there is still a solid alternative feel, heart and storytelling in each

song.

Catherine Wacha is a singer-songwriter and music composer who lives in Pittsburgh, PA. But, to just label her as just a musician would be selling her short. She is a performer, an organizer, and an activist.

In the late nineties, she played guitar and sang for the experimental punk rock group, Pseudo Dolls. Upon the demise of that band, she switched gears in 2002 and bought an acoustic guitar, and started writing songs as a solo artist. In 2015 Catherine started playing some percussion and could be found up and down the Jersey shore playing percussion for several different local acts and ultimately found herself as a permanent member of the band Frank & Bill playing gigs steadily both with the band as a solo artist.

Catherine plays in a style all her own pulling from her many influences  ranging from classical, pop, rock, and everything in between. She’s a performer that puts every single part of her being into each song. Whether she’s playing for two or two hundred people every word and strum is delivered with a raw intensity. The themes that she covers in her writing run the gamut from love, melancholy, triumph, rejection, and a keen sense of what is and what will be.

As an organizer and an activist, she has put together shows to help in the fight against Lupus. Her team, “Rock the Lup” has raised thousands for the Alliance for Lupus Research. Over the years, Catherine has been recognized by the ALR for both fundraising and helping to raise awareness about Lupus. Along the way she has put on countless benefit shows, as well as “Rock the Lup” compilations made up of independent artists from around the world. Her intensity on the stage is matched only by her intensity for the furthering of these causes. In addition to her charity work, she also organized Vox: An Evening of Female Voices from 2006-2007 respectively.

Performing non-stop since 1979, Maurice Aucoin has established himself as one of Halifax’s most venerable artists. In 2019 he celebrated 30 years fronting his very well known, energetic band, The Persuaders. Along with his duties with the band, he has also established himself as an accomplished songwriter and has had his music featured regularly on regional and national radio. As a solo performer, he is currently promoting new material that will be featured in upcoming solo releases.

In 2020 he started his own weekly Livestream Program called ‘Moe's RoundABout' featuring various artists and interacting live in the studio.
